Hi
will do thanks for your kind comments and support.

Next intended steps

22nd May about 5pm
Arrive at airport, buy tourist visa that lets me travel outside Sharm, get to hotel, brandy and cigarette by the pool where I last spent time with my children and a stroll down Naama bay high Street re-living a few more memories and taking in the fact that I'm really here on my own. Cold beer, kick back, think of home and the future.

23rd Am
Day chilling out, visit the school, a few cold beers catch some sun. Let the fact im really here sink in.
PM start looking at some property

24th
taxi to El Tur and get 1 year resident permit and multi entry visa. Let's see how that goes and what actually happens. I'll post experiences, prices, problems and final outcome.

Then I have to decide on Sharm with it's strange property laws and busier diving community with more competition or quieter Hurghada with less visitors and maybe less competition and more straightforward (cheaper) property.
